Last Season’s Sounding Board Responses: Loyalist or Patriot?

With the return of the Sounding Board this season, we took a look back at some of our favorite responses to the last question we posed: what are some factors that would make you a loyalist or a patriot?

“To make sure that my country is always safe.”

“If I had a say in government or not.”

“I would want to be a patriot because I would know I was fighting for something right and just. I would have loved to be known for that.”

“If loyalist, that I was going to fight for the nation that rightfully owns the land, and therefore, rightfully, has the ability to add taxes and laws that I believe were fair.”

“I would stand for the side I believed would be best for me, my family, my friends, and the world around me.”

“Your place in the social pyramid and your beliefs.”

“I would be a patriot because it would mean that we could make decisions that benefit all, not just the king.”

“Choice is, or should be, the most central part of being human. Everyone should have one.”
